Find the equation of the line passing through the point and perpendicular to the lines
and
The vector equation of a line passing through a point with position vector and perpendicular to two lines with vector equations
=
+ λ
and
=
+ λ
, is given by
=
+ λ(
) because as we know that vector product between two vectors will give you a vector whose direction is perpendicular to both the vectors, so the required equation is parallel to this vector and hence this is the equation.
Now we are given with,
= (
+
–3
) and the lines perpendicular to required line are,
=
+λ(2
+
–3
) and
= (2
+
)+μ(
+
+
)
= 2
+
–3
and
=
+
+
Now,
=
=
=
Therefore, the required equation is,
=
+
–3
+ ρ(4
–5
+
)
